Wearable sensors are the devices that collect information about biological and physical properties of body and environment by the sensors present in wearable devices. This information is utilized further to measure the output information of body. Sensors are implemented in wearable devices to track environmental activities, such as temperature and weather information and to track fitness and health activities, such as body temperature, heart rate, stress level, heart pressure, blood pressure, movements, speed, and local temperature. Wearable sensors are used in devices, such as a smart-watch, smart shoes, body-wear, fitness watch, glasses, virtual reality headsets, sleep masks, and jewelry.
